Bad Points
After owning this camera for four years, a screw has loosened up and fell out just above where the battery attaches. This resulted in the entire cassette carriage loosening and the inabililty to play back tapes. The flat rate cost of the repair is $269 and I am sending it in today (12/4/01).

General CommentsA firewire is no help to getting video on a computer and no salespersons I've talked to has been able to help.
